In all seriousness I want to keep it very-long-term. I have actually kept a car for a while for those that don't believe me. The Jag XJR stuck around a whole year and 20k miles. The C280 was also close to a year and 20k miles. The Range Rover I just traded was actually a year and a half () and 12k miles. Hoping to keep this one several years and toy with other cars. If we end up needing more money for other cars though it may go.

Plan right now is keep E38 long term, sell E36 and buy GMT400 Suburban and an uber-cheap daily for me (either a BMW or possibly a Saab) and sell the E39 for pure pocket change.
